Make Your Cruise Memorable
Taking a vacation cruise is a one-of-a-kind experience. Even
people who take cruises often consider each one different, with
new locales and destinations, different boats, and different
activities and experiences on board. It's a great idea to
preserve your memories of each trip in a special way so you can
get the most out of your vacation by remembering it for years to
come. There are a few small things you can do along the way to
make this process simpler when you get back to dry land.
Don't be shy about taking pictures! Some people avoid doing this
because they feel it makes them look too 'touristy.' But all of
your fellow passengers are tourists, and it's the staff is
certainly used to tourists. So if the kids get involved in a
dance contest, or the chandelier in the dining room is fabulous,
feel free to snap a picture. If you catch them at the right
times, the crew in uniform is usually very open and willing to
get into a picture with you. Ask nicely when they're not busy,
and get a great shot of the captain or a crewmember in full
regalia. Get cheesy if you want to; ask a fellow passenger to
take a photo of you and your spouse waving by the side of the
boat. My parents took a cruise when they were first married, and
their favorite snapshot from the trip is one of
my father
pretending to throw my mother overboard. Well, whatever floats
your boat, as they say. Make it campy, make it silly, make it
romantic... just make it memorable.
Keep in mind that if you're planning on making a scrapbook or a
memory box of your trip later, the secret is to save, save,
save! Maybe your ticket stub doesn't look like much while you're
on the boat, but years later you will love to see it. Your room
reservation holds valuable details that might just remind you
someday that you had a western window or a terrible cot that
folded out of the wall. Ask the waiter for copies of menus or
carbons of your check so you can remember what you had at that
memorable first dinner on the water. Save your slips from the
casino if you decide to give your luck a try- it might make you
cringe to remember you lost $50 in bingo, but at least you'll
remember it!
So enjoy your cruise. Make good memories, and preserve them.
Steal the soap if you must; but there are better souvenirs to be
had. You just have to look for them!
